CONTINUOUS HOMOMORPHISMS ON PIECEWISE ABSOLUTELY CONTINUOUS MAPS OF S1

The paper’s Theorem 1.6 proves that any d–continuous 1-parameter homomorphism ρ: R→PAC+(S1) is conjugate by an interval exchange f to a flow whose time-t maps are continuous on a finite union of circles D, and it also shows this conjugated homomorphism is continuous as a map into PAC+(D) (see Theorem 1.6 and the proof outline in Sections 1 and 5 ). The model’s core conclusion aligns with this. However, the model asserts that conjugation by an interval exchange is an isometry for the metric d, which is false in general; the paper only establishes that conjugation is a homeomorphism (Remark 3.13, via continuity of left/right composition) rather than an isometry . The proof strategy in the paper is correct and sufficiently detailed; the model’s reasoning contains a critical misstatement about metric invariance.
